| Goddards - Fuggle (or Fuggle Dee-Dum) | 4.80 | | The lunatics seemed to be running the asylum. I simply asked for some dashes of lemonade to take the edge off this ale but was refused as I had not paid for it, then another simply horrible pint of same was pulled and given to me. A few sips then left |
